Healing Rheumatism Case Promises Permanent Cure
Mrs. M. M. Hoyt of Chicago describes a long siege with inflammatory rheumatism that left her nearly helpless.

She returned to Chicago cured, reporting lasting health benefits and relief from weather-related pains. The testimonial, sworn April 22, 1896, ends with the product promotion.
